Jeet Kune Do

What is Jeet Kune Do?
At Progressive Martial Arts we also offer lessons in Bruce Lee's street combat method, Jeet Kune Do. Bruce Lee's fighting method was created to enable the exponent to deal with a situation quickly and efficiently.

What does it entail?
Jeet Kune Do training consists of high intensity training that is not for the feint hearted. The drills are all real scenario orientated and often leave the student battered and bruised (but loving it)

Whats the diffence between "Original" and Concepts"
Original is the teachings as Bruce Lee taught them. Concepts are the interpretation that some people have to how Bruce Lee would have altered them should he still be alive. At Progressive Martial Arts we teach "original" as that is the method that we (Steve) prefer.

What qualifies you to teach it?
Bruce Lee did not certify many people and as such this is always a sticky area. Steven has been lucky enough to train with some of the top Jeet Kune Do instructors in the world. During Sifu Poteets (one of Bruce Lees close friends and students) UK Visit in 2006 Steve was lucky enough to be given instructor level. After the visit Steve travelled to the USA to train privately with Jerry as he wished to gain more knowledge and first hand experinece with Jerry's closest students. It was during those visits that Steve met Sifu Dane Junod. Sifu Dane showed Steve just how practical Sifu Jerry's teachings were (are) and as a result Steve has kept in constant touch with Dane. Now Steve continues his training with Sifu Dane whenever possible. Bringing his Sifu to the UK yearly and travelling to the USA whenever possible.
